Rule 3-625. Expiration and Renewal of Money Judgment

A money judgment expires 12 years from the date of entry or most recent renewal. At any time before expiration of the judgment, the judgment holder may file a notice of renewal and the clerk shall enter the judgment renewed. Upon request of the judgment holder, the clerk shall transmit a copy of the notice of renewal to each clerk to whom a certified copy of the judgment was transmitted pursuant to Rules 3-621(c)(1) and 3-622 and to each circuit court clerk to whom a Notice of Lien was transmitted pursuant to Rule 3-621, and the receiving clerk shall enter the judgment or Notice of Lien renewed. Committee note: This Rule does not extinguish an unrenewed judgment held by the State. See Code, Courts Article, § 5-102; Comptroller of Md. v. Shipe , 221 Md. App. 425 (2015); and Central Collection Unit v. Buckingham , 214 Md. App. 672 (2013).
